There are three kinds of pricing in the private car industry: flat-rate, metered, and "quoted." Only one of them tells you what you're actually paying before the ride starts.
The problem with "quoted" pricing
Quoted pricing means someone calls you back, gets details, and gives you a number. The problem is the number changes. Traffic, wait time, extra stops, a driver who took a different route — any of these can add to a quoted price in ways you didn't agree to at booking. When the invoice arrives it is rarely exactly what you were quoted.
What metered pricing misses
Metered pricing is accurate but unpredictable. You know the rate per kilometer but you don't know the final price until you're out of the car. In a city like Toronto, where the 401 can add 25 minutes to any cross-city trip, the meter runs regardless of why the car is stopped.
“All-inclusive means the price you see is the price you pay. Not approximately. Not unless there's traffic.”
What all-inclusive actually means
All-inclusive pricing means the price confirmed at booking is the price charged at the end. Tax, gratuity, fuel, highway tolls — everything included. The driver's route doesn't change your bill. A traffic delay on the DVP doesn't change your bill. This is how Velise prices every booking: the total is shown before you confirm, and that is what you pay.
Covering the GTA
Velise operators cover Toronto proper, Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham, Oakville, Brampton, and Hamilton — the full GTA footprint. Airport transfers run from both Pearson (YYZ) and Billy Bishop (YTZ). Hourly hire is available for longer bookings where you need a driver to stay with you across multiple stops.
